Mike Trout might not belong in Los Angeles for a reason that has nothing to do with baseball.

The Angels superstar has made his affinity for the weather known in recent years, striking up a relationship with meteorologist Jim Cantore and posting videos and messages about a variety of storms on his Twitter account. The snowstorm that hit the Northeast on Thursday, deemed the “bomb cyclone,” caught Trout’s interest a day earlier and led to an onslaught of weather-related messages to his wife.

“I’ve been talking to Mike Trout all week. He’s so excited about this storm right now. He’s been blowing up my phone,” Cantore said on SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio. “There’s no question that he would have been a meteorologist if he wasn’t a phenomenal baseball player. He really loves weather. He’s a total geek about it, and it’s great talking to him.”

Trout likely won’t have as much time to study or talk about the weather once the season rolls around. The Angels are expecting to make a strong bid for their first postseason appearance since 2014 — the only one of Trout’s career — after winning the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes in December.

If Trout needs another sports figure to share his fanaticism with, he can turn to sideline reporter Erin Andrews, who expressed her interest in giving weather reports to The Weather Channel’s Twitter account Thursday.
